Jury Duty
My group was called in for Jury Duty tomorrow. I guess it's better to get this done with earlier in the week since I'm trying to avoid canceling appointments at the end of the week. Being the nervous nellie that I am, I really don't want to deal with driving downtown during rush hour. To be perfectly honest, that is what I'm dreading the most about all of this. The time away from work doesn't make me happy either...but it's really just the whole dealing with parking and all that junk. I'll get by, though. I always do.

Friday already?! Woo!
Time Flies when you're busy! I do like Fridays around here, though...and not for just the obvious reason of it almost being the weekend. On Fridays, I try and be good and have a normal work morning. Then on Friday afternoons, that's when I 'allow' myself to do a project...whether it's something out in the workshop or a house project...doesn't really matter. Just something that's fun that I don't typically have time to do during the week.
Today's project: finishing the workshop organization project. One of my m-i-ls in coming over (I have 2 :) ) to help me out. She helped me get the initial organizing going--i.e. boxing up stuff that I'm not using right now, unpacking things that I had in storage while we were in England. You know, that kind of thing.
Josh and I got all that newly boxed up stuff put up in the attic over the weekend, so now there's a bit more space in the garage. So today, Lynn and I will be creating "clean" storage for crown, tray, and candle inventory. And that in turn frees up some other shelving, which means there will now be a proper place for most everything out in the workshop. Yay!
The garage has been warming up for about an hour now. Should be nice and toasty out there in another hour or so. Despite my lovely cup of decaf coffee (or becuase of) I'm still tired--and a little chilly-- and I didn't really like my breakfast. Fortunately, pregnant ladies are allowed to have 2 breakfasts (by my rules), so I'll just make sure bfast #2 is a little tastier.
(Oh and sick kitty, Rufus, seems to be doing much better. responding well to antibiotics. and finally gaining a little weight back. we go back in next Friday to have blood drawn to recheck liver levels.)
Have a good Friday!

Happy New Year!
...and today just happens to be Josh's and my 7th wedding anniversary. Our anniversary usually gets the year started off on the right foot, pretty good deal if you ask me.
and I'm 15 weeks pregnant today...and having to start transitioning into maternity clothing. Yeah, the pants aren't really buttoning up anymore. I've been using the rubber band trick to keep them closed for the past few days. I took to the sewing machine over the Holidays to start sewing knit waistbands into some old pants. Much better. Now for the tops....
So with needing to finish up altering some of Josh's old button-ups, along with a nice long list of emails and crowns to tend to, it's going to be a busy week. (Plus a kitty cat who seems to have a liver infection! :( I just want to curl up with the little guy all day long!)
I may have to go in for Jury Duty next week (I call-in the night before for a full week to see if/when my group gets called). I truly don't have a problem doing my civic duty..but next week is not a good week to possibly have to go in for Jury Duty. Praying my group doesn't get called.
the Garage heaters have been running for an hour now...in another hour or so, it might be warm enough to start work for the day...the more pregnant I get, the less willing I am to work out in the cold garage. ugh. It could be worse, though. So on that note, that's it for the Monday morning ramble. I'll see what I can do to keep you entertained this week. Happy New Year.

oh yeah...
..and I cleaned up the blog a bit. I had switched things around when we were away, as the video windows were getting cut off, and I had been posting pix. and well...I'm not doing that so much any more. so back to a nicer, cleaner layout.
...out of shape...
My arms are SO tired and sore from all the metal polishing I've been doing today! Those 6 months in England has taken tolls on me in ways that I did not expect! Who knew that my polishing "muscles" would have gone away! (who knew that I even had polishing muscles???!). Weird!
